SATES UNiTE JOSEPH CONLEY, 0F ANADARKO, OKLAHOMA.

INCINERATOR.

To all whom it may concern;

I Be it'known that 'I, JOSEPH CONLEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Anadarko, in the county of Caddo and State of Oklahoma, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Incinerators, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in latrineincinerators and the object of my invention is to provide a device ofthis character which is simple and substantial in construction, capableof being quickly placed in operation and easily moved from one place toanother and at the same time having the highest efiiciency in operation.

With these and other objects in view my invention consists in certainconstructions, combinations and arrangements of parts the preferred formof'which will be first described in connection with the accompanyingdrawings and then the invention particularly pointed out in the appendedclaims.

Referring to the drawings wherein the same part is designated by thesame reference numeral wherever it occurs,

Figure 1 is a vertical section taken on line11 of Fig. 2 and looking inthe direction of the arrow.

Fig. 2 is a similar section taken at right angles to Fig. 1 on line 22of Fig. 1.

Flg. 3 is a horizontal section taken on line 33 of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view of modified form of my invention.

The latrine is formed with a front wall 5, side walls 6, 6, a rear wall'7, a top wall 8 and a bottomwall 9. f

. The top 8 is provided with the openings 10' over which are removablyplaced the seats 11 provided with the covers 12.. It is preferable tomake these seats of wood and have them removable so that they will notbe injured when the latrine is burned out, during which operation theopenings 10 may be closedby metallic covers, such as shown in my priorPatent No. 926,100,

granted June 29, 1999.

Specification of Letterslatent- 7 Patented July 16, 1918. Applicationfiled October 27, 1917. Serial No. 198,810. I

In order to protect these bearings and to hold the trunnions therein Isecure holding plates 17 to the sides of the casing by rivets 18. Ialsoprovide the ends of the trunnions with squared openings 19 which may beengaged by a wrench 20 shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 for the purposeof turning the pans, the sides of the casing being provided withopenings 21 in line with the openings. 19, said openings 21 beingprovided with a cover 22 pivoted on the rivet 18- .tom wall 9 ofthelatrine is a grate 30, and

31 is the fire door for said grate'and is located in the front wall 5 ofthe latrine.

Extending under the entire bottom 9 of the latrine and the chamber 23 isa pan 32. 33 is a partition in the pan formed with an opening 34controlled by a damper 35, the partition 33 being in line with the rearwall 7 of the latrine. 'The front of the pan eX- tends out beyond thefront wall '5 and it is provided with a cover 36 for the extend-v ingportion. The back of the pan is pro vided with .an opening 37 controlledby a damper 38. j I 39 is an openingtshown in Fig. 1) controlled by adamper 40, through which material may be fed to the lower pan 13.

In the form of my invention shown in Figs. 1, 2and 3 it will be notedthat there is'a single lower pan 13 and a pair of upper pans 13; thatthe lower panis'located 'betweenthe fire built on'the grates 30 and'theend wall 7 with a space between the pan and the end wall and thatthere is also a space between the bottom of the-pan and the bottom wall9. The upper row of pans are located between the openings 27 and 28 withthe rear pan contacting with the rear "wall and with a space between theedge of the front pan and the front wall 5.

In the form of'my device shown in Fig.

4, it will. be noted that there are illustrated three pans-in both theapper and lower row; that the front pan of the lowerrow con tacts withthe front wall while the front pan of the upper rowisspaced away fromthe front wall, and that the rear pan of the lower row 1s spaced iromthe rear wall 7,

while the rear pan of the upper row contacts with the rear wall-7, Thevlower row also is located above the top of thefire ion the grate 30, andin addition 'to the openings 1 27 and 28 opening throughthe rear wall 7tom wall of the chamber 23 is provided with an. opening 46 which can heclosed by: a sliding damper 47. l v I In the operation of the form of myinvention shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, a fire is kept continuously burningon the grate 2,5 and the damper 29 of the opening 28 is kept .open withthe other dampers closed while all gases and Vapors accumulating inthe-main chamber will consequently pass out into the cha1nber 23andthere be deodorizfid and sterilized before passing out ofthestack.When there is a sufficient accumulation ,of. material in the pans 13 afire is built'onthe grate 3.0. This fire will drive off-the moisturefrom the solids andat the sametimeevaporate the liquids. The gases andvapors from-the upper pans pass down the ,front portion of theehamberinto, intimate contact. with the fi re on the grate 3.0. The fire willalso i entirely surround the lowerpan 1$,while the ene ssl d sh d; the-rute th ne lupt gases-and vapors will then pass into the chamber 23 wheretheir deodorizing and sterilizing 'will be completed before "they.

pass. into the stack. When substantially'all the liquid in the pans 13has been evaporated the wrench 20 .is applied to each of the pans, andthey are turned over, dumping the solid Lmattercontained in the top pansdown. The :pans are then left in their inverted position so that theflame from the fire will thoroughly burn them out and sterilize them.Thereafterthedamper 35 will be "opened and the damper 38 -closed,,causing the-draft for the fire on the grate 25 topass through the pan32, thus evaporating any liquid contained therein. 1' a.

1' Y Th 'lh 'fil l h h P3 1 t l-1 ilfb either downthrough thefire. onthe grate .30; in which ease the damperis only s igh y n en d or direcly th o gh th ra 1n wnch case the damper is kept wide of combustion fromthe firs on the grate 30 may beover the tops of the upper row of pansThis, result is, produced by opening the damper 29 of the fuel opening27. If the fine opening 29 is left open the products of combustion canalso be permitted to pass over the top of the lower panx13. it will thusbe seen that by the arrangement of dampers and flue openings shown theproducts ofcombustion can be caused topass'all around both tiers ofpans; thus affording the highest degree of eflioiencyboth 1n evaporationand .sterllization off thematerlal'. .0011- tained therein. The solidmatter remaining in the pans is readily burned .on the grate 3.0. p 7form of inventlon shown 1n Flg it,

In the 1 the operation is similar to that just described for thedampers. "As will be noted the openings are so arranged as to cause theprod nets of combustion to flow in any desired direction around bothrows \ofpans. .By have ing theopeninghetween the side of the easupperrow farthest,,away fromv the. stack opening inthe casing; the productsof combust1oncan be caused to make atc rcm tous path over and under bothrows ofpans; The 7 material tobe incinerated may be dumped into the pansthrough and 4A.

.realize that considerable variation is posslble 1n the details ofconstruct onand arrangement of parts without departing from thespiritgofniy nvention,andI therefore do not intend to limit myself tothe specific for n shownand described;

Having thusidescribedmy invention what I claim as new-and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:
